    China has requested WTO dispute consultations with the United States concerning certain US duties imposed on imports of steel and aluminium products. The request was circulated to WTO members on 10 April. China claims the duties of 25% and 10% on imports of steel and aluminium products respectively are inconsistent with provisions of the WTO''s General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 and of the Agreement on Safeguards. The duties have been adopted through a number of legal instruments, including pursuant to Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act. The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute in the WTO. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations have failed to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.

Measures at Issue
The United States imposed 25 percent and 10 percent of additional import duty respectively on certain steel products and aluminum products, from all countries except Canada, Mexico, Australia, Argentina, South Korea, Brazil and the European Union, which took effect from 23 March 2018. It is indicated that the president of the United States would consider further adjustments to the additional import duties, alternative means, or implementation of quota.
